If you’re passionate about investment management and are looking for a role where you can come and make a significant impact, read on to find out more about Saltus and what we’re looking for.

Why Saltus?

Our mission is to improve everyone’s relationship with their wealth: to make it a positive force for their future and at the same time to prevent it being a source of anxiety. We want everyone who works at Saltus to be proud to work here, and to find fulfilment and meaning in the work that they do.

We are a successful, privately owned, LLP, with a number of offices across England including London, Whiteley and Farnham.

Saltus is an independently owned financial planning and discretionary investment management house. We are dedicated to providing a high-quality service for private clients, trusts, and smaller institutions.

Saltus Partners was founded in 2004 and has grown organically and through a small number of carefully integrated acquisitions. Originally the business started out as an investment manager and has now developed the financial planning side of the offering, putting this at the forefront of the client relationship.

Today Saltus manages and advises on over £9 billion of client assets, acquired through a combination of organic business growth and corporate acquisitions.

We are seeking to catalyse our organic growth, having invested significantly in our infrastructure and our people, and given a strong investment track record.

You’ll be keen to benchmark your own performance against industry best practice, and will champion strong sales growth, focusing on the new business opportunities that enable our business development targets to be exceeded. Collaborating and influencing will come naturally to you, and you’ll act as a facilitator to encourage collaboration across the business.
